If you do I'll be over with a crowbar to get that elusive switch cover
front seats wont be much use as they exploded when the airbags went off so i'll reserve the little switch for you Duncan

I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I know it as bit late - but just reading through this - looks like you were indeed very lucky Dunc - afterall, its only a bit of metal, and you can replace that - as long as you are yours are safe.

So sorry i did not notice this post earlier, i get so little time to surf as i would like these days.
Your survival of such a possibly horric incident may well have been largely down to being in a D3, but from reading your initial post i think a lot also seems down to your quick thinking and cool headedness.
Any amount of metal can always be replaced, what truly matters is that you and your family are well.
Nothing else really matters at all
